The Muscogee (Creek) Nation (MCN) was awarded a $2,802,365 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) to install approximately 1-megawatt of ground-mounted solar photovoltaics at the Okemah Community Hospital in Okemah, Oklahoma. The project, which has an estimated completion date of June 30, 2028, is expected to offset approximately 29% of the hospital's annual electricity usage of over 5 million kilowatt-hours. By maximizing on-site consumption, the solar system will generate real cost savings to support the provision of critical health services in an impoverished county. This replicable approach can be scaled for implementation at other MCN facilities, furthering the tribe's goals of increased energy sovereignty and environmental stewardship.
